Major Conclusions• International sales are an important niche market for a number of Miami-
Dade-Broward REALTORS.®• Survey data concerning transactions for the 12 months ended Sept-Oct 2013
indicates a slight increase in the volume of international transactions and purchases and an increase in the purchase price.
• Majority of international clients are foreign residents (Type A). Resident foreigners (Type B transactions) are also important.
• There are discernible differences between Miami-Dade’s and Broward’s international clients regarding the volume of international transactions, mode of contact , purchase price , type and area of property purchased, top tier countries of client origin, and reason for buying
• Data indicates an increase in members who have less than 5 years of experience.
• Many respondents hold designations (e.g., CIPS, CRS, GRI, BPO) and have 6 or more years of experience.
• The international market remains important though challenging for many, requiring that REALTORS® deal with financing, language and cultural issues.

• Immigration requirements are a concern to some prospective buyers. • Some potential international investors were reported as not being able to
buy property because of the low inventory of available homes. • Language and diversity of cultures can be issues in completing transactions.
– Diversity of expectations between potential purchasers and U.S. customs.– Language capabilities important.
• Some REALTORS® noted an increased need for substantial expertise, knowledge, and professionalism in dealing with international clients.

Summary
• International Sales are a Significant Market for Miami-Dade-Broward for location and investment purposes
• Survey data indicates an increase in the volume of international transactions and purchases in the 12 months ending Sept-October 2013:
-an increase in the percentage of REALTOR® respondents having 6+ international clients (38% in 2013 vs. 30% in 2012)
-an increase in the percentage of REALTOR® respondents with 51%+ of their transactions as international (35% in 2013 vs. 21% in 2012)
-an increase in the percentage of REALTOR® respondents who had at least one international client who purchased property (81% in 2013 vs. 67% in 2012)

![Page 45: 2013 Survey of International Home Purchases Miami-Dade-Broward, Florida Conducted by NAR Research for MIAMI Association of REALTORS® Summary of Responses.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e115503460f94afce15/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Summary, Continued
• The price paid by a typical client increased; the median price in 2013 is about $ 300,000 compared to the median price range of $ 200,000- 250,000 in 2012.
• Buyer characteristics - Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Canada accounted for 52
percent of reported international purchases;- Condominiums were more preferred than single- family homes,
accounting for about 64 percent of purchases ;- Mortgage financed purchases accounted for a minor portion of
international sales • Many contacts are initiated via personal relationships.
– Although personal contact is most favored, online marketing is increasing.– For REALTORS® with only an occasional sale, some study of foreign cultures
and customers can help to bring the transaction to a successful closure.

Summary--Continued
• Most Miami-Dade-Broward REALTOR® Respondents Have International Expertise and Experience– Respondents reported having a variety of designations indicating
specialized expertise. – Approximately 57 % of respondents reported being in business
for more than 5 years compared to 66% in the 12 months ending Sept 2012.
• International sales market presents unique challenges.
- Learning another language can be an advantage. - Personal contacts/referrals are necessary to building an international client base.- Familiarity with tax /immigration/financing regulations is important.- Foreign clients are discouraged by additional costs such as HOA and insurance fees, so helping the client understand the rationale for these costs is critical.
